Playing time on this one of the funniest party games for adults for 1 to 2 hours.
How to Play:
1. Before the party, ask each guest to bring an unusual dish that reflects a particular American region or culture. Ask them to bring copies of the recipe for all the guests.
2. Have the guests set the food dishes on the counter or table, keeping the recipe hidden. Ask them not to say anything about the foods to the rest of the players.
3. Offer plates and ask guests to sample each dish.
4. As they sample the selection, ask them to write down what they think the dish is and what the ingredients are.
5. When everyone is finished with the meal, have the guests identify their dishes, list the ingredients, and hand out recipes.
6. Have the players check their papers to see how many dishes they identified correctly and how many ingredients they named. Give a point for each correct answer.
7. Award a prize to the player with the most points.
Variation:
Have an international meal instead of a national one. Assign each guest a country or a culture, ask them to bring a dish representative of their assigned region.
